Dick Smith 31.5" Full High Definition LED LCD TV $298.00

130

I needed new TV for our bedroom. Ended up getting this one from DS. Oh and I got one of the 750GB HDD's as well :) Looks like a good deal to me. Better response ratio than Kogan's 32" Full HD 1920x1080, USB input, no PVR. Does the job for me. Cheers.

  • Not bad. Google cache shows $348 as the usual price.

  • pretty nice, hows the picture quality?

    • I bought one a little while ago (see: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/73251). And it's quite decent. Only complaint is the vertical viewing angles are quite bad, so unless you tilt the tv it has to be at eye level.

  • Yep, bought one of these for $298 back at Christmas. Great unit, highly recommended.

  • great price

  • very very tempted to buy….. I was intending to get the 31.5" soniq from jb for $229
    see here

    Now Im not sure which one to get….. arrrrrrrr

    • This one is Full-HD 1080p, the Soniq isn't. Up to you whether this is worth the $69 extra but for me it definitely is (was) because it allows for even more flexibility as nice big computer monitor… plus Full-HD Movies and Games obviously look absolutely perfect too.

      I just got one of my friends to replace their 51cm CRT TV with one of these this morning and they love it already. Thanks OP!

      • Definitely agree that the FHD 1080p is a major +

        Have either you or your friend connected a PS3 or xbox to it? If so how did it look?

        I did read a comment (in another forum) that the DSE GE6800 had some problems when they connected up their ps3…. it might have been a dud or a glitch though

    Well, after some testing, here is my personal opinion:

    1080 Full HD: Definitely a must
    Sound Quality: Average
    Display Quality: Surprisingly quite good
    Noise Reduction Features: 3D Comb Filter on chip is "Dumb" Temporal with De-Blocking that applies either too much or not enough
    Picture Settings: Quite Good
    Design: Minimalistic, Clean Lines, No Cheap Feel
    Remote: Great Touch Response
    Inputs: Great Variety, Includes HDMI in

    Overall, I would give it 4.5 out 5 stars

    On a side note, it is just plain disgusting that Australian Broadcasting Networks apply stupid compression ratios on almost all channels in order to save/meet bandwidth limitations. 576i these days just doesn't cut it. Also, don't forget that some channels are available in 1080i but at a very low bitrate. I just pray for them to get rid of the stupid Tandberg Realtime encoders and move on to advanced x264. Oh well, one day maybe …

  • It shows as $348 now.
